 Just by editing the URL and adding the size (in width**x**height) the image gets resized and the resized version gets cached to the disk so it loads much faster on the next request.
 
+You can limit the number of resizes per image in the ```index.php``` file

 ## How does the API work?
+
+### From URL
 PictShare has a simple REST API to upload remote pictures. The API can be accessed via the backend.php file like this:
 
 ```https://pictshare.net/backend.php?getimage=<URL of the image you want to upload>```.

 {"status":"OK","type":"png","hash":"10ba188162.png","url":"http:\/\/pictshare.net\/10ba188162.png"}
 ```
 
+### From base64
+
+Just send a POST request to ```https://pictshare.net/backend.php``` and send your image in base64 as the variable name ```base64```
+
+Server will automatically try to guess the file type (which should work in 90% of the cases) and if it can't figure it out it'll just upload it as png.

 ## Security and privacy
 - By hosting your own images you can delete them any time you want
 - You can enable or disable upload logging. Don't want to know who uploaded stuff? Just change the setting in index.php

 ## Installing PictShare
 - Just unpack it on your webserver (remember, pictshare needs to be in a root directory) and it should work out of the box
+- (optional) You can and should put a [nginx](https://www.nginx.com/) proxy before the Apache server. That thing is just insanely fast with static content like images.
+- (optional) To secure your traffic I'd highly recommend getting an [SSL Cert](https://letsencrypt.org/) for your server if you don't already have one.
